Bug#682742: audacity: creates temporary directory with wrong permissions

Package: audacity
Version: 1.3.12-7.4
Severity: important

Although the umask is set to 027, the temporary directory is created with
mode 755.
Even worse, after manually changing the permissions to 700, audacity resets
them to 755 during startup!

Severity of the bug set to important, because I consider this a (albeit minor)
security problem.
